The Lost Job

Months had passed and I was over Ruth, happy and leaving my life a day at a time, trying to avoid much stress and trouble.

Promotion at work was knocking on my door at Access Bank PLC, I was soon to be promoted to assistant banking officer and I looked forward to that day.

On the 12th of October, 2020, I got a call from the manager that he directed a client to me, to assist him in making some transactions he'd be at the bank in less than an hour time, and I should make myself available for when he comes, I assured him I would. Besides, I was up for promotion and I needed to impress.

In less than an hour, I got a call from the client that he is on his way, and I told him where he'd see me when he arrives. In no time, he was in the bank, seated in my office, waiting for me to assist him with whatever he wanted.

"Oh, it's you," I said to him, frowning.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked.
